Colin Walters becc18936f lib: Stop using old `ostree_sysroot_get_repo()` API 
It's falliable, and in one place we were actually ignoring
the error and leaving a `NULL` repo object which is just a trap
for people coming along later since it's rarely nullable.

Quite a while ago we switched to loading the repo at the same time
as the sysroot; convert callers in the library to use this infallible
accessor.

Prep for another patch which will use the repo object.

README.md

Repository design

At the heart of OSTree is the repository. It's very similar to git, with the idea of content-addressed storage. However, OSTree is designed to store operating system binaries, not source code. There are several consequences to this. The key difference as compared to git is that the OSTree definition of "content" includes key Unix metadata such as owner uid/gid, as well as all extended attributes.

Essentially OSTree is designed so that if two files have the same OSTree checksum, it's safe to replace them with a hard link. This fundamental design means that an OSTree repository imposes negligible overhead. In contrast, a git repository stores copies of zlib-compressed data.

Key differences versus git

  • As mentioned above, extended attributes and owner uid/gid are versioned
  • Optimized for Unix hardlinks between repository and checkout
  • SHA256 instead of SHA1
  • Support for empty directories

Binary files

While this is still in planning, I plan to heavily optimize OSTree for versioning ELF operating systems. In industry jargon, this would be "content-aware storage".

Trimming history

OSTree will also be optimized to trim intermediate history; in theory one can regenerate binaries from corresponding (git) source code, so we don't need to keep all possible builds over time.

MILESTONE 1

  • Basic pack files (like git)

MILESTONE 2

  • Store checksums as ay
  • Drop version/metadata from tree/dirmeta objects
  • Add index size to superindex, pack size to index
    • So pull can calculate how much we need to download
  • Split pack files into metadata/data
  • pull: Extract all we can from each packfile one at a time, then delete it
  • Restructure repository so that links can be generated as a cache; i.e. objects/raw, pack files are now the canonical
  • For files, checksum combination of metadata variant + raw data
    • i.e. there is only OSTREE_OBJECT_TYPE_FILE (again)

MILESTONE 3

  • Drop archive/raw distinction - archive repositories always generate packfiles per commit
  • Include git packv4 ideas:
    • metadata packfiles have string dictionary (tree filenames and checksums)
    • data packfiles match up similar objects
  • Rolling checksums for partitioning large files? Kernel debuginfo
  • Improved pack clustering
    • file fingerprinting?
  • ELF-x86 aware deltas
